I am – Hercules!!


Wendell Pierce and Clarke Peters, who played Baltimore police detectives Bunk Moreland and Lester Freamon, respectively, on “The Wire,” will reteam with “Wire” creator David Simon on the HBO pilot “Treme,” which follows residents of post-Katrina New Orleans.

Khandi Alexander (“NewsRadio,” “CSI Miami”), who worked with Simon on “The Corner,” is aboard “Treme” as well. The Hollywood reporter describes the roles:

Pierce will play Antoine Batiste, an accomplished jazz trombonist who is now scratching for gigs, trying to support a live-in girlfriend and a new baby, while still carrying a torch for a failed marriage to Ladonna Batiste (Alexander), the mother of his two children, who is single-handedly keeping her bar afloat. Peters will play Albert Lambreaux, a big chief of the White Feather Nation trying to bring the tribe's members home.
